Misc. Notes
Boston, called a Dutchman, when in 1638, Richard Rawlings was allowed to purchase his home and he removed. was of Fairfield about 1649. His wife Elizabeth had a child born in prison where perhaps she died. We find not the occasion of the imprisonment of the wife which was very long, but conjecture is, that she was insane, that the child was posthum. named Moses, and had elder brs. John and Ebenezer. John died in 1659, his minor brothers were heirs. See Trumbull, Col. Rec. I. 209, 222, 6, and 32. The explanation is altogether traditional, as also the story, very natural, that the mo. wh. admin. est. of John, m. John Fossecar of Fairfield.197, v2p556
